C. prevalence of corrupt practices
D. persistent rural-urban migration

Correct Answer: Option C

C. prevalence of corrupt practices

Explanation

Political corruption is a persistent phenomenon in Nigeria. The rise of public administration and the discovery of oil and natural gas are two major events believed to have led to the sustained increase in the incidence of corrupt practices in the country. These corrupt practices are a major barrier to development as those in places of authority use governmental powers for illegitimate private gain.
